New YORK, Oct cit is announced that
the sale of the Baltimore and Ohio Tele-
graph Company to the Western Union has

Western Union Company will issue sufficient
stock to take up the Indebtedness and capi-
tai stock of the Baltimore and Ohio. The
matter has now been referred back to the
Baltimore and Ohio directors for ratifica-
tion.
Although the officials of the Western
Union Telegraph decline to make any state
ment formally in regard to the Baltimore
and Ohio matter, 1t is given out by them in
an informal way, under promise to use no
names, that the papers for the transfer of
the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph to the
Western Union have been signed and the
wires of the former company are
already virtually under Western
Union control The contract signed
includes not only the Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph Company's lines, but the wires
and exclusive right of way of the railroad

the right of way as well as the right to
wires on the West Shore road. All the

tails of transfer, cannot yet be obtained.
BALTIMORE NOT SURPRISED.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 6.-The dispatch from
New York announcing the completion of
the deal of the Western Union for the Balti-
more and Ohio telegraph created no sur
prise here. 1t is understood that the terms
are S. 600, 600 of stock of the Western Union
and a cash payment annually by the West
ern Union of 100000. 1t is thought the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph will be CON

acted upon. AS soon as the announcement

session of the poles and wires of the
former company within the city limits
and proceed to collect the $4,000 bond
given by that company as security that it

COTTON IN TEXAS.
The Crop Greatly Injured by Drought
and Worms.

and Worms.
GALVESTON, TEX, Oct 6-The Ne,os
tomorrow will publish returns from sixty
one counties in Texas on the conditi on of
the cotton crop. 1t says editorially: "The
outlook is by no means favorable. A
month ago the prospects of the Texas cotton
crop were very flattering for fair yield,
but those fiattering prospects have been
sadly reversed within the past month.
The rains that came III August found the
crop much more injured by the drought of
the early summer than there was reason in
August to believe, and the good that the
August rain did has been ruined in a very
large proportion of the State by the raw
ages of the cotton worm. Over thirty
counties reporting show a loss in yield,
compared bale for bale with last year,
amounting on the average to possibly in
excess Of % per cent, while not more than
thirteen of the counties show an increase
compared with last year, the increase aver.
aging not more than - per cent. This is a
sorry showing for the cotton crop of the
State. A number of counties show an equal
yield to that of last year, but the damaged
portion of the State embraces the counties
which usually make the greatest yield"
The NeiUs closes its summary by declar-
ing that its reports may be relied upon, and
predicts that the cotton crop of Texas will
not reach the yield of last year as a maxi
mum estimate by z to 10 per cent, and this
without respect to increased acreage

BRIBERY IN FRISCO.
A State Senator and Other Prominent
Men Implicated.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 6.-State Senator
Creighton was convicted in the Superior
Court here a few days ago on charge Of
jury-bribing in connection with the suit for
damage, commenced against the Ulster
Street Railroad Company few years ago
by widow, whose husband had been run
over and killed by one of the company's
cars Indictments for trying to bribe the
jury in this case were found recently
against Robert A. Morrow, a millionaire,
and the principal stockholder of the Ulster
Street railroad; j. II. McCord, prominent
politician and ex-Superintendent of the road
Mr. Creighton and f. N. Northey, two
local politicians, who, it is claimed were

issued bench warrant for his arrest, and
the police authorities have been searching
for him, but without success.
THE PENALTY
The penalty for Creighton's offense is from
one to ten years imprisonment, and there
seems to be no doubt that he has left the
State. Advices from Tucson. Ari., last
night state that he passed through that place,
and it is supposed here that he was on his

with similar charges recently made against
Christopher Buckley, politician, and
several other parties of more

EUROPE'S PEACE.
The North German Gazette on the
Recent Conference

BERLIN, Oct. 6.-The North German Ga
sette refers in cordial terms to the meeting
between Prince Bismarck and Sig Crispi
"The interview" says the GGzette, ''is fresh
proof of the old and tried friendship exist
ing between the rulers and people of Ger
many and Italy, and has established the
fact that with Austria TO opreserve the peace
and prevent a European war, and in case
of necessity to ward it off altogether,
the task is not subordinate to any pending
question of detail nor the outcome of pass
ing personal moods. 1t results from the
combined interests of both nations, which,
having established national unity, desire to
improve the benefits thus attained. Peace
loving citizens, ready to welcome joyfully
every fresh guarantee of peace, will re
gard with satisfaction the visits of
Count Kalnoky and Signor Crispi. The
voices from abroad expressing displeasure,
do not come from that great majority of the
European people desiring peace, but from
those who would seek to bring upon the
nations the calamity of great wars"
